Face Recognition

A human face provides a variety of different communicative functions, such
as identification and perception of emotional expression. Face recognition
has been an active research area in the computer vision community over last
decade. In this area, we are interested in both theoretical problems and
applications of face recognition to human computer interaction. Currently,
we are developing technologies for two scenarios: (1) complex indoor
environment, such as a meeting room and a nursing home, (2) mobile agent,
e.g., a PDA based face recognition system.
